2025

this series of works deals with a very special intermediate stage of photographs – a kind of ‘state in transit.’ In online auctions, Vesko Gösel finds some images with digitally added copy protection to be much more interesting artistically than those without it. He transformed this state onto the architecture of underground car park access buildings and uses the many glass windows, similar to our monitors or mobile phone displays, as filters between the motif and the viewer.
